MNPD: Shooter is dead following active situation at Covenant School
https://www.wsmv.com/2023/03/27/mnpd-shooter-is-dead-following-active-situation-green-hills/
An active shooter event has taken place at Covenant School, Covenant Presbyterian Church, on Burton Hills Dr. The shooter was engaged by MNPD and is dead. Student reunification with parents is at Woodmont Baptist Church, 2100 Woodmont Blvd.
IT'S. THE. GUNS.

Although opponents of sensible gun control
continue to put the spotlight on the shooters motivations or unstable mental states, these are cynical diversions from the one obvious truth: The common thread
is the absurdly easy access to guns.

You mean the cops went in and killed the subject instead of hanging around outside for 90 minutes?

I thought school shootings happened because the kids aren't forced to talk to gods, or at least listen to other people talk to gods.
Do I correctly understand that this is one of the schools where gods are spoken to?

It's the fucking guns. It's always been the guns.

But the 2nd says what it says, and we can't well-regulate the militia in any way shape or form, so oh well.
Rampage shooters, kill yourself FIRST.
